Vulture
You have shown me Truly What it means To be a vulture amongst mourning doves To witness pain, Absolute and final, And feel only hunger Gnawing with merciless lust, are we On the skin On delicacies uncared for With no regard for what once was Only what can now be ...

Vulture Accusations take wing, like Vultures carcass cleans. The guilty are ashamed, not satisfied with screams. Enjoy the life you bought, with every hateful word. Forgiveness is a choice, not something one deserves. (Alternate ending: Forgiveness is too low, for dead- flesh eating birds. Which would you choose first or second ending?)...

Premium Member The Process of Introspection
I found envy in the windswept field filled with bright buttercups and pollen laced gusts. Tall grass thrashed where the angels flashed and flaunted silver wings. Made of faith, exuding grace. I found rage. Eyes tied to weights, awake lying next to carrion a convulsing vulture ripped away Her ivory dress, caked in gore the bald bird always needed more I sat silent in the grass, moping. Hoping it would...

Premium Member Ravenous Vulture
I’ve been harkening back to my formative years Haunting seedy seaport bars in Keelung, Navigating strange interventions abroad, While adjusting my ears to an alien tongue. On the streets of the market the game was afoot. I bought a gold earring and a butterfly knife, Then ran after numerous Dead Sea trolls, The cause and effect of a nautical life. I came...

Vulture Angel
that last step, veins protruding under the skin, the other imperfections and these eyes, eyes of distance. flaky is the word for the skin, brittle. not good, evokes the time implacable. it is always destruction that rushes forward. skin, in this case bark ex-house. that last step, the color seems gray, but it is a condition. something that would be solemn in books, but totally...

Money Matters
Just like that, he started a venture Intended to salute their culture, In his speech creating that picture; The high hopes he did nurture About its supportive infrastructure And advertising superstructure… Then, finance became the torture, With its photo of an ugly vulture; Inventor forcing out of his rapture, The invented threatening with capture… Any need now to contend that Money...

Who Is My Real Enemy
They might be our real enemies But they don’t smoke as much cannabis, Your schemed wars thriller to the vulture And that’s the truest darkest picture! They scramble for our lowest money, Never its restrictions finding funny; Their brothers reviving our fainting shoes: The hardly polished after their stubborn use; With us initiating the silly prices That regard gives none to how...

Premium Member Who Will Feed First
Who will feed first I wonder As vultures fly in, surrounding the carcass. I begin to count them. 45, 46, 47…..92. I lose count at 93, but do not feel like starting over. The biggest birds feed first Because they had the strength to rip the animal open. It was something I could no longer bear to watch. So much for...

Premium Member An Ode To the Scavenger
(1) Strophe Slowly and slowly fly the mighty feathers: the uncanny wrath bearer, the poacher's prey, the bald bizzare stigmatic cryptic creature, the ecology's majestic role player; the curtain raiser of ecosystem's air purifier. Alas! Your iconographic role is omitted, you, the saviour of the mortal race from the contagious diseases. Astounded! How you uncontaminated dear environment. Your poaching has taken away the soul of...
